The merry mountains of Colorado. Apparently, I'm needed in Denver to sit around and do nothing in particular while feigning interest in some big meeting with something like a dozen states (as in, US states) and associated other states (as in, nominally sovereign states). It's not like I'm really needed, considering my boss can and will be handing the presentation on our latest project himself. I could be doing real work here, or I could be sightseeing there, but I don't even have enough time for the latter to make it somewhat worthwhile. Your tax dollars, hard at work.
Well, not your tax dollars, since you're in merry Britain, but the principle stands.
